      I met Mr. Leno at a car show when I was 17 (1994). I had just begun building my first Mustang. He talked with me for probably 20 minutes, he gave me some wisdom concerning my rebuild (basically talked me out of doing what a lot 17 year olds would do😂). 3 years later I was in a car show in Rhode Island with the finished car. Mr. Leno was there and he remembered talking with me previously and congratulated me on the build. Even made some comments about my previous plans. I was blown away that he remembered the car. He is a real person, nothing fake about him. Just genuine.

      Most car guys tend to think that the craft is dying and that nobody will ever be able to hand build components ever again. This is bullocks, there will always be passionate people able to learn it.

Yes, like you said, good thing I wasn't an old guy or that could have been serious!

Nevertheless, I have not set myself on fire or been closed led on a motorcycle so I guess I'm doing OK. I got rid of my last motorcycle about 10 years ago when I was just over 60. everybody applauded because they thought that I would maybe survive another 10 or 20 years which I have done. Go for it Jay! One of the things I want to do before I go home to the big garage in the sky, is visit your amazing garage... a fellow enthusiast in Toronto Canada!!!

    I have my Dad's 1967 Cadillac deVille convertible since I was 12 years old. He owned an auto body shop and always had a Cadillac. He was going to junk it when he bought a 1972 Fleetwood Brougham. I told him that I wanted it and I am now 58 years old. The car has over 200,000 miles on it and cosmetically is a beauty. I had the original 429 engine rebuilt last year for a small fortune of $11,000 bucks. The rear main seal is leaking so much that I can't really drive the car . It needs a quart of oil every 100 miles or so. It's just a damned shame that this car is undriveable due to a $30 piece of rubber ! I have contacted a Cadillac restoration shop that I hope will be able to solve my problem. If not, I will have to source another 429 engine and start from scratch again. Glad to see Jay back at work and keeping these old cars running.

    Geez, Jay. Be careful! You are an American icon of cars .I enjoy learning from you here and I could listen all day. Back in the 70s ,I had a '57 Chrysler Saratoga (push button shifting) (near mint) and a '62 Chrysler Imperial I drove back from California with my wife and brother (RIP Kevin) after my wife and I hitch hiked to southern Cal from Michigan City, Indiana with 50 dollars ,a suitcase, and duffel bag. We really met some decent people for rides all the way. We got the mint Imperial for only 250 dollars because the sellers wife needed diapers for their baby! When I drove back to LaPorte ,Indiana, the first gas station I hit was where the attendant offered me 600 dollars on the spot for the car Travelled across the Mojave with a cool black dude and a long haired friend of his in a '63 Chevy Impala with cold Coors beer in the back seat with us. The longest wait for a ride was at St. Louis until a van with long hairs picked us up and let us party with them before continuing West. Heh. Keep the channel going, I dig it! I am a young 73 today.

    Wishing you a speedy recovery Jay. Your passion and humility are appreciated. So many car collections remain behind locked doors, never to be seen by the public. It's refreshing to watch someone who is passionate about sharing the stories behind not only their own collection but also interesting cars belonging to other people.

    Jay is the physical manifestation of the spirit of a 9-year old kid in all of us. Watching him, his collection, is a personally relatable experience, doesn't feel like watching someone on the altar looking down at us for not having to achieve what our hearts desire. Seeing him adding another piece to his collection genuinely makes me happy every time.

    Jay, you have the greatest sense of humour ever, I am very happy that you weren't hurt worse than you were. Nyself, I was hit riding my GSX-R1000R ride on the street in front of the emergency ward at the Jubilee hospital here in Victoria. Mear blocks from home. Anyway, broken collar bones are no fun!!! As you say though, men and over 40, we don't learn any new tricks do we. 😀 May you be well, and thank you so much for sharing your FANTASTIC automobile collection with all of us. There are no better collections in my mind, I especially love the 7.0 litre 1966 Ford, the one you got your Father to buy back when---year before I roamed the planet. Just a great car, as are all the others. Best to you ALL!!!

When I see episodes like this it makes me happy to see somebody out there promoting the history the technology the ingenuity of the past. Thank you give validation to my family history

    I miss your show and enjoy these videos.
    When that Cadillac was new I used to go and sit in the new Chevys at the Chevy dealer on the Boulevard of the Allies in Oakland, Pa. around the corner from our apartment & then go and have lunch at the S & B Deli next door & have a cheeseburger, fries and a Vernon's Ginger Ale.
    Both gone now but the dealership is so big with huge ramps for the cars that the city of Pittsburgh doesn't know HOW to repurpose the building.
    The Chevy dealer had dealerships all over the East Coast.
    Vernon's Ginger Ale is still around.
    I was 5 when that Caddy was new.
    I'm going to be 71 next month.

    I'm an old guy about a year younger than Jay. Well, I brought back my 83 Honda Nighthawk 650. It needed the front brakes and the hydraulic clutch rebuilt and it still needs some minor stuff fixed but It's fun to ride and pretty fast for what it is.
    In California, you have to pick where and when to ride because of the crazy traffic, and all my friends think I'm crazy for riding it. Idc, its a blast, and you only live once.

    P.S. - I met you at Paramount Studios many years ago when you came there to check out the hydrogen cars that BMW had on display near the Bronson fountain, it was great to meet you and chat for a while. Good times.

    I'm the same age as you Jay and have owned and ridden motorcycle's since I was 15. I did an inventory of all the bikes owned and it was around 70 or so.
    Two years ago I found out I had cancer and with chemo and radiation and drugs, I had a problem with balance. Can't have a problem with balance on the
    405 at 70mph ! (As if you can go 70 on the 405 these days).
    You talked about your injury's from the bike acedent and the face fire incident and it so related to me.
    After all the years building and restoring cars and bikes I have had to come to grips with my age, so I built my last car and sold my last bike.
    Keep on riding and building for the rest of us geezers Jay.. I'll be watching.
    PS: I met you three times, once at the Rock Store and twice at the spring fling Chrysler show. I spotted your Stanly was on fire and my friend Jay ran
    under the car with a blanket to put it out.

    for me to meet him one day.
